Pneumonia caused by mrsa is deadly. I can assure you thjat an otherwise healthy young person can indeed die from this horrible bacteria. This is not as rare as you might think - the CDC issued an alert to the medical profession in late January to check for MRSA pneumonia if the doctors had a patient with influenza who suddenly took a turn for the worse. This illness killed my son in 5 days. It is serious and should be talked about more. My 15 year old son died Feb. 14 of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, pneumonia, and influenza.

It can live for at least 36 hours on a sterile surface and indefinitely on surfaces that are not. And he didn't necessarily have to have an immune deficiency. Influenza and pneumonia are common killers to those with allergies and asthma as well. Congrats to The Office for honoring such a fan. Their efforts may bring more awareness to the dangers of MRSA, influenza and pneumonia to healthy people. MRSA is bad.

It's a huge freshman killer. Something sort of related, I went in for my rabies shots, I mean flu shots, anyway... They asked me to get a whooping cough shot, not for me, but the new strain KILLS newborns and infants! By inoculating adults and children they are hoping to lower the death rate of tiny babies. Now that's sad. My doctors office was giving anyone who would come in the shots for free. Go with God, Nathan. It's a shame this had to happen.

That is what killed him. Thousands die every year from MRSA infections. These bugs are resistant to almost every known antibiotic. Theses infections are becoming more and more widespread, epsecially among the elderly, children and people with immunity issues. My BFF has a MRSA infection right now and has been fighting it since she had knee replacement surgery in January. Right now she doesn't have a knee and might lose her leg. And she is still not out of the woods as far as dying is concerned. She got this infection during surgery in a hospital. He had MRSA. That is what killed him.

Top that with pneumonia and influenza, hm, maybe he did have some type of immune deficiency. I would think you had heard about MRSA bfore seeing as how it has been all over the real news stations.

It depends on if he had a lung infection via influenza or MRSA. Both can infect the lungs (even at the same time, I believe). Chances are they put him in the hospital for having pneumonia brought on by the flu. This compromised his immune system and allowed the local MRSA at the hospital to take hold. My _guess_ would be that this led to lung necrosis from the MRSA toxins. MRSA is the likely killer (having a current mortality rate +11%) not influenza.
